On 13 November 2024, the FBI raided Coplan’s home and seized his phone. According to Bloomberg News, the Department of Justice is investigating Polymarket for allegedly allowing U.S.-based gamblers to make bets on the website.

The 2% are probably the janitors.

I’ve known Polymarket’s CEO for years — here’s why the FBI raid is a scandal

Rather than take the FBI to court, I would guess Polymarket would just take it up with Wray's or Garland's replacement.

Don’t get it. What’s the commodity being traded? There’s no gold, corn, currency, stock, or even an index future. This is nuts. They should just register in Vegas as a booky.

I don’t think that a mud puddle is “wetlands” either, but you see, “conflation” is bad when republicans do it, but commies are entitled to deem a 250 pound biological male to be a “girl” because they say so, and commie judges will agree.

They should change the symbol from justice from a lady with blindfolds, scales and a sword to a fat man with the blindfold lifted, the scale cast aside, and a shotgun.

This is the CFTC symbol. Part of a flag, a graph, and initials. I don't want to suggest they spend time doing something other than creating a logo, because they might spend the time doing something much worse.

They already do. They spend their time going after newly marketed ideas that work.

Yes, the time spent on the logo is really insignificant. If they spent half of their total time on logos they might do less damage.

They could privatize and go into the logo designing business, and let people trade whatever the hell commodities they want wherever the hell they want.

Let’s have some leechee futures, or plain and crunchy peanut butter futures, and low fat yogurt futures, and weird-looking stuff you can only find in push carts on Canal Street futures. WTF happened to frozen concentrated orange juice? That used to be a thing. True, nobody even makes it anymore. But let’s start making it again just to trade its futures in New York again. There was a whole movie with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd in it, so it shouldn’t be allowed to die just because of orange tree canker.

Is Seinfeld “low fat” yogurt tasted good but made people gain weight. Maybe it contained a lot of sugar.

That rumor would cause it to be shorted. But when he replaces it with artificial sweeteners...

This year Miller Lite was trying to revive *tastes great* *less filling* but they don’t sell yogurt. Show me a concept, it can be a betting option, even if it failed.
